I bought one of these kits, whilst the quality is dreadful at best, i was able to change a battery and remove a link, worth the £2.89 just don't expect too much

Had one of these for a couple of years. They're OK. I've changed several batteries and altered wristbands without too much difficulty.
In terms of injuries resulting from my kak handed use of the kit, I'd give it a 2 (On a scale of 1 to 5 - where 1 is a minor scratch and 5 being a major stabbing)

Using this kit I was able to remove links to change the size of the strap on my daughter's watch. When the battery went flat in the same watch I was able to get the back off and change the battery with this kit.
However, I had to use a watch back closer to get the flipping thing back on. https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00SX5OTBK

Good deal but waste of money

Bought one a few weeks ago from eBay for £2.79, as people have said, quality isn't the best but as long as you're careful and take your time, each tool will do the job a few times and save you a few quid in the end :smiley:

Bought one of these a while ago . Great for changing batteries on a couple of cheaper watches I have .certainly better than paying a jeweler or watch shop £5 or £10 a pop .

Would I feel comfortable using it on a £10k roley probs not . Would I be on HUKD if I had a £10k roley probs not

Ordered mine. Just purchased two Seiko watches and need links removed, will give them a go myself. Not sure if I would risk putting my Rado watches through this though. Handy having around the house nevertheless :sunglasses:

Bought this the other week - works well, better than I expected.

My father is a jewellery & watch specialist so I'm familiar with all the tools - quality is important but it's more about technique and practice. I can't count the number of times I've sliced a finger open over the years by using to much pressure at the wrong angle.

Use Google and watch YouTube videos before attempting anything. We always had people in every day who had bodged a simple job - battery change, spring bar, link removal, etc.

This kit is fine to use on cheaper watches.
That said, cheaper watches are badly made and some are a right pain for simple jobs.

If you've got a decent watch then buy the better quality versions individually or go to an expert.

Waste of money of you want to use it more than once, soon falls apart! You'd probably need all the tools just to replace a battery :confused:

Had one for a few years and has served well for changing links and battery replacement. Good bit of kit and reasonable quality

I bought this last time it showed up here. utter rubbish! don't waste your 2.89gbp

Usually £2.49.

Got a set like that for free with my watch, its still sitting in the hall unopened somewhere

hmm. try messing with my £1000 watch with a £2 kit ...no thanks of to watch specialist for me

brilliant for watch strap removal of pins in links etc but not much else.

bargain, even if you aren't interested in watches, it's always useful to have more pokey things

will give it a try at that price - have a graveyard of watches all needing new batteries :confused: - thanks

thanks just ordered ill give it a try

Quality is not the best, but with a bit of time you can change watch batteries yourself

Such poor quality, but it does the trick!

Yes the quality isn't great but I've changed 4 or 5 different watch batteries, adjusted two metal straps, and replaced one leather strap all with this kit or an identical one off amazon. It's paid for itself several times over.
Edit: a couple were rotary aquaspeeds so while not super expensive, they weren't cheap watches. They are still doing fine underwater lol
